Interview: Custom Erotica Souce

By Ellen Tevault

Have you ever wanted to give your loved one a gift like no other? Custom Erotica Source allows you to order a custom written erotica story with your loved one as the main character in a scenario you choose. Just imagine your loved one’s face when she receives this special gift that no one but you can give.

As a CES writer I wanted to introduce you to this wonderful service and let you know that the authors work hard to provide you with a special, customized story that will please your loved one.

JJ Lovell joined Custom Erotica Source as President in 2008, with a commitment to continue the tradition of excellence pioneered by CES founder Sage Vivant. The company creates high quality, tailor-made erotic stories. With a background in customer service, social networking, and erotica, JJ is driven to help everyone become comfortable exploring their fantasies in the safe, anonymous, creative CES community.

Q: What is a Custom Erotica story?
JJ: The quick answer, of course, is fiction that we write just for you. We’re not talking about canned stories into which we simply stick your character names. Each story at Custom Erotica Source.comis custom written from scratch by our talented team of renowned authors. If you find yourself disappointed or unsatisfied when reading standard erotic literature, then you are in for a treat the first time you read about yourself, or your partner, right there in the center of the action. Your story can be a private embellishment, a sensual gift, or a celebration of your affection for your partner. It might even be a sales pitch or “recommendation” for something that you’ve not quite figured out how to talk about directly.

Q: In what format will my loved one receive the custom erotica story?
JJ: We offer three formats now, and I’ll tell you about an exciting new option that will be available soon. Your story can be delivered electronically if that is your preference, but for most clients we print the story in a lovely handmade booklet suitable to be cherished as a token of affection or a personal collector’s item. Illustrations can be included if you wish. We also can provide an audio CD of your story. Samples of the available voices are on the website at www.Custom Erotica Source.com.

Q: Can I order a custom erotica story that includes GLBT, BDSM, Master/slave, heterosexual, etc. for my loved one or myself?
JJ: Yes, we’re enthused by all of these genres and our authors provide great diversity and versatility in a wide range of styles and specialties.

Q: Can I order a genre custom erotica story such as sci-fi, fantasy, or historical?
JJ: Of course!! We receive lots of requests involving superheroes, celebrities, comic book heroes and politicians. Sometimes a client requests that he or she be written into a popular sitcom or movie as a character, and sometimes we are asked to spin a filthy tale about a wholesome personality. If you want to fuck the president, we can make that happen.

Q: Can I order a non-erotic custom story?
JJ: Absolutely. When you place an order, we ask you to select from three levels of graphic language: “romantic”, “naughty”, or “filthy”. These classifications guide us in the selection of the words used to portray the scenes. Filthy words usually accompany filthy deeds, but that’s not always the case. It’s challenging for the author, but a scene that juxtaposes conservative language and filthy events can be very surprising and exciting for the reader. Tell us what you’re comfortable with and we’ll write to your standard.
ELLEN: I wanted to let you know that under Sage there were times customers ordered stories that did not involve sex at all. The customer provided a scenario and characters, but requested no sex at all. The writer wrote the story according to those provisions to still make a custom story for the receiver of the gift. So, you can order non-erotic stories, by providing the information of the people involved, the scenario you want to happen, but make sure you state somewhere on the order form that you want it to be a nonsexual story. An example is if the story involves two heterosexual guys who like to do stuff together and one of the men wants to give his buddy a customized story, but wouldn’t want it to be sexual. We can still do it! :-D

Q: Are there any no-no topics?
JJ: We won’t write about incest, bestiality, nonconsensual sex, or nonconsensual violence. And we won’t include minors as either participants in or witnesses to sex acts. More information about these constraints can be found on our website in the FAQs section.

Q: What information should I provide to get the best personalized custom story?
JJ: Many of us are shy when it comes to discussing our dirty little secrets, especially if we’ve never shared them before. But that’s what CES is all about; it’s our job to make it fun, safe, and private. When you place an order, you’ll provide the details either by filling out our web form or by emailing your requirements to us. On our form we guide you and make it easy to give all the information that the author needs. Some of the things we ask for are the names and descriptions of characters, the setting, plot line, and graphic level (romantic, naughty, filthy). We also want to know what is “most important” in the story, whether that be an event, a dialog detail, or any other story element that you wish to embellish. Feel free to describe body types, fetishes, positions, racial characteristics, and anything else.
ELLEN: As a CES writer I will tell you that the more information you provide for ALL of the characters involved in the story the easier it is for the writer to write you the story you want to give.

Q: Can I choose which staff writer I want to write my custom story?
JJ: Our authors are profiled on the website, and many of them have provided samples of their work. For most projects our clients rely on us to match the requirements with the most appropriate author, but if you have a preference for a specific person, that’s great. This is especially important when you want a sequel written with the same tone as the original. We’ll try to accommodate your choice subject to workload.

Q: Anything else you can share with me about Custom Erotica Source?
JJ: Earlier I promised to tell you about an exciting new format option. Narrative fiction gives you two of the things you want most in a custom work: it’s about sex and it’s about you. But it’s a passive art form that lacks interactivity. We’re working on a new format that will add audience participation. You will still order the work in the same fashion, but we’ll write it as a play, or script in which you will take on the role of one of the characters. In addition to providing you with the script, we’ll supply actors and actresses to complete the cast. You’ll perform with the other cast members by teleconference and we’ll create an audio recording of the performance for you. We’ll also offer a webcam version that enables you to perform by videoconference. In this case, we’ll edit the performance and make it available on DVD or by video streaming. Keep your eye on the website for these product announcements.
